      The reload dialog is very useful when a file gets externally modified. However, sometimes I want to keep a “snapshot” of a particular file open without being bothered by frequent “reload” pop-ups.

      Ultraedit has an option to femember the chosen option (reload or ignore) for that tab (for as long as it is open), without affecting the other open files.

      How can I achieve this in NP++?

        This is not a per-tab option but under Preferences, select MISC. then look at the File Status Auto-Detection options. It’s described in the online manual here, search for “File Status Auto-Detection” on that page.

        Otherwise if you have a mixture of tabs some with auto update, some wanted without I doubt there is an option to do it. best I can think of is to use the File, Save a Copy As and then load that file as a separate tab. That will cut the ties to any file being updated elsewhere.
        Alternatively use Save As, that saves as a new file and instantly replaces the current tab contents with the contents of the new saved file, again cutting ties to an original file being updated.

          These workarounds are inconvenient when one still wants to reload that file manually.
          This is a useful feature to have.
